If there is a lack of contributors, I guess code quality can contribute
to that. But I'd strongly suspect that instead of looking for a fix at
the source code level, there are social and cultural reasons why many
find it hard to contribute to Emacs.
However, I don't really think it's correct to say that we have a lack of
contributors:

What I observe instead is that we have many people who should be in a
position to contribute to Emacs core, but for one reason or another
choose not to. Instead, they develop third-party packages on MELPA (or,
more recently, NonGNU ELPA).
One thing we have discussed over and over is moving to sourcehut, but
AFAIK no one is working seriously on that. I really hope that someone
will take on that task soon. Maybe Lars or Eli would like to put it at
the top of etc/TODO (on the emacs-28 branch) on the off chance that it
helps.
